Weak doc, great content

It showed more as several mini docs within a larger narrative but lacked crossover to difinitively link each crime with an outcome.

The content is astounding, and obviously "true" but as with most Clintonesque scandals there are so many moving parts, that it would require forensic investigation to litigate.

This is precisely why the Clinton's are so good at avoiding criminal litigation. I'm afraid the only damage this can cause is to educate the public on the true Clinton
Crimes. Although it is imperative that Hillary never get to the White House again, more importantly both Clinton's need to serve time in prison for treason (amongst many other crimes).

My sentiment is exactly the same. I almost felt like this was the overview or trailer for the trilogy of documentaries that are due to come out later this year.
Bery educational but very shallow, which I understand with only 1 hour and multilple ponts to discuss.

I agree. It failed to develop a coherent thread through the documentary, and i would also like to remark on the audio quality, which, atleast in my version, made the whole thing almost unwatchable. Had the documentary been refined (possible addition of an audio engineer and a more seasoned producer) it would've been a must watch.

Can you really blame the production though? Im sure they would love to pump more money into finishing value, but they knew full well it wouldnt make any money and be black balled - so for that reason alone you have to give them props.

You have a good point, but the sound quality literally makes me think that a built-in microphone on a laptop was used, and a 2008 version of windows movie maker made to put the music over it. I might be overstating it, but truth is, there are youtube channels with better audio.

It makes it so much sadder since the visual elements are actually pretty good.
